Tomorrow EA will be kicking live the Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta and it will be launching in two phases.

Pre-order players will be able to start playing tomorrow, 4 October, which will include the Assault Trooper Challenges. On 5 October, pre-order players will then be able to test the Battle Points and Hero Challenges.

The second phase of the test starts on 6 October for everyone with Arcade Challenges. On 7 October Galactic Assault will come into play, and finally on 8-9 October the Starfighter Assault Challenges.

The second phase of the test is probably going to get hammered and even EA state it’s the largest beta ever distributed by EA. They say that downloading could “take a while”.

Of all the game modes available during testing, the Starfighter Assault space battles are likely to be the most popular so expect a busy weekend.

The Star Wars Battlefront 2 start times are as follows:

4 October – First phase for pre-orders

PDT: 1am

EDT: 4am

BST: 9am

CEST: 10am

6 October – Everyone

PDT: 9am

EDT: 12pm

BST: 5pm

With that all nailed down, players are advised to have the following firepower in their PCs for the best experience. Most PC gamers should meet the minimum requirements with ease.
